The Labour Court rejected JUKO's appeal against the Ministry of Finance's decision not to grant severance pay to a dismissed public school teacher. JUKO argued that the dismissal violated collective agreement principles, while the Ministry maintained the termination was lawful under statutory grounds. The court upheld the Ministry's position, ruling that the specific circumstances did not warrant severance compensation.
